(1) The wrist band design is poor at best. It will fall off the wrist at times. Needs a buckle type secure system. (2) It is necessary to calibrate your stride for best accuracy results. Otherwise step count is high by 10%. (3) Does not count proper step / stride when used on an elliptical exercise machine (under counts steps).(4) Heart rate monitor is right on and accurate. (5) Easy to sync with the Garmin Connect web tool and monitor your progress.

I had a fitbit before this one, which I lost because the clasp opened and it fell off my wrist. It was very inaccurate. This one is much more accurate, although the band clasp can come off just the same. It needs a second band that has a buckle like a normal watch. Having a wrist watch built in is a great plus, and I use this as my everyday watch as well. It has a physical battery that is expected to last for 1 year, which is much better than other units that have a USB rechargeable battery and have to be charged every few days. The heart rate monitor is great when used, and the set-up is very easy. Synching the device with your computer is as easy as pushing a button on the unit. I'm very happy with the unit so far.
